COMPARE:
BounceBan or MillionVerifier on price
BounceBan against MillionVerifier for verifying a large list without overspending, with the same seven questions asked of each and neither one flattered. Mamba Labs builds Apify actors. Email Waterfall Orchestrator is ours, it is the third column, and it does not win most of these rows.
The short answer
MillionVerifier is the cheapest per address here and its credits do not expire. BounceBan costs more and answers questions MillionVerifier returns as unknown.
Side by side
| BounceBan | MillionVerifier | Email Waterfall Orchestrator | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it actually does | Says whether an address will accept mail, including on the catch all domains other verifiers give up on. | Runs a list through validation and returns good, bad, risky and unknown. | Calls a chain of email finders in the order you set and returns the first address that verifies. |
| Coverage and hit rate | Its whole argument is the catch all case, which is where most lists lose their unusable half. | Straight verification at high volume. There is nothing else in the account to distract from it. | As wide as the providers you put in it, because it is the chain rather than one provider. |
| What it costs | Credits per verified address, and it does not charge for an address it can only mark unknown. | Credits that never expire, bought in packs, which is the cheapest per address on this list. | A couple of cents per row on top of whatever your own provider keys cost. |
| How it fits a workflow | An API, a bulk upload, and a Chrome extension, with native steps in Clay and Make. | A bulk uploader and a simple API. Integrations are few and the API is enough for most uses. | One call per row from Clay or from a script, with the provider that answered named in the output. |
| Where the data comes from | Live SMTP conversation plus its own catch all inference, run per address at request time. | SMTP checks and its own suppression lists. | Whichever provider answered, and it tells you which one did. |
| What it takes to set up | Upload a list or take the key. Minutes either way. | Upload the file. There is nothing to configure at all. | Bring your own keys, set the order, run it. The keys are the work. |
| Where it stops | It verifies. It will not find you an address that does not exist yet. | It does one thing. There is no finder, no placement test and no monitoring here. | It buys nothing for you. With no provider keys it has nothing to call. |
The same seven questions are asked on every compare page here, in this order, so two of these pages can be read against each other.
What each is actually better at
- BounceBan wins on coverage and hit rate, what it costs. A verifier built to give a real verdict on catch all domains.
- MillionVerifier wins on what it takes to set up. A verifier sold on price and on credits that do not expire.
- Email Waterfall Orchestrator wins on how it fits a workflow. Runs several finders in order on your own keys, and stops at the first verified answer.
- Nobody wins on what it actually does, where the data comes from, where it stops. BounceBan and MillionVerifier give the same answer on those, and we are not going to invent a difference.
Try them yourself
What we would actually do
Price per address is the wrong measure on its own. What matters is price per address you can actually send to. On a list with few catch all domains MillionVerifier wins outright and there is nothing more to say. On a normal B2B list, the cheaper tool hands back a large unknown bucket, and you either bin those addresses or send to them blind. Binning them means you paid to delete a third of your list. That is the arithmetic that makes the more expensive verifier cheaper.
